Submission guidelines: We're seeking photographs that capture the
look and feel of the United States as seen by those who live here, rather than the stock images of postcards and

image is taken, and as detailed a description as you're willing to
offer. Also let us know if you've got a photo Web site or a link where a
print of your photo is available for purchase.

We want to hear what you think about this article. Submit a letter to the editor or write to letters@theatlantic.com.
